The investigation is mainly driven by conceptual questions and thus seeks to link theoretical debates about space, gender and utopianism to historiographic debates about the (gendered) social production of space. As Pohl's primary aim is to demonstrate how women writers explore the complex (gender) politics of space, specific attention is given to spaces that feature widely in contemporary utopian imagination: Arcadia, the palace, the convent, the harem and the country house. The early modern writers Lady Mary Wroth and Margaret Cavendish seek to recreate Paradise in their versions of Eden and Jerusalem; the one yearns for Arcadia, the other for Solomon's Temple. Margaret Cavendish and Mary Astell redefine the convent as an emancipatory space, dismissing its symbolic meaning as a confining and surveilled architecture. The utopia of the country house in the work of Delarivier Manley, Sarah Scott and Mary Hamilton will reveal how women writers resignify the traditional metonym of the country estate. The study will finish with an investigation of Oriental tales and travel writing by Ellis Cornelia Knight, Lady Mary Montagu, Elizabeth Craven and Lady Hester Stanhope who unveil the seraglio as a location for a Western, specifically masculine discourse on Orientalism, despotism and female sexuality and offers their own utopian judgment.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50697251324177,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697254338833,"sku":"NGR9780754652571","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52522436231441,"sku":"NLS9780754652571","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53013978775825,"sku":"NIN9780754652571","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0754652572.jpg?v=1757416345"},{"product_id":"gender-and-utopia-in-the-eighteenth-century-book-nicole-pohl-9780754654353","title":"Gender and Utopia in the Eighteenth Century","description":"Focusing on eighteenth-century constructions of symbolic femininity and eighteenth-century women's writing in relation to contemporary utopian discourse, this volume adjusts our understanding of the utopia of the Enlightenment, placing a unique emphasis on colonial utopias. These essays reflect on issues related to specific configurations of utopias and utopianism by considering in detail English and French texts by both women (Sarah Scott, Sarah Fielding, Isabelle de Charri re) and men (Paltock and Montesquieu). The contributors ask the following questions: In the influential discourses of eighteenth-century utopian writing, is there a place for 'woman, ' and if so, what (or where) is it? How do 'women' disrupt, confirm, or ground the utopian projects within which these constructs occur? By posing questions about the inscription of gender in the context of eighteenth-century utopian writing, the contributors shed new light on the eighteenth-century legacies that continue to shape contemporary views of social and political progress.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51219328139537,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51219328565521,"sku":"NIN9780754654353","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52522433937681,"sku":"NLS9780754654353","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0754654354.jpg?v=1751295637"},{"product_id":"mobility-in-space-and-time-book-nicole-pohl-9783790813807","title":"Mobility in Space and Time","description":"The pure theory of international economics operates within a methodological framework of (static) equilibrium modelling. This sets a number of restrictions to its capability to explain empirical economic phenomena. A huge part of the scientific discourse takes place within this equilibrium framework. This is also true for new approaches like e.g. the New Economic Geography and models operating with market structures of oligopoly. This is why it is a courageous effort to try to cross the apparently unalterable borders set by equilibrium modelling. Most certainly this cannot be an end in itself. Especially the pure theory of international economics is still in many fields lacking adequate possibilities to deal with phenomena in space and time. These two dimensions have in common that they make the introduction of specific facets of movement, change, evolution - and therefore mobility - possible. Besides this dynamic component a point of view that includes space and time challenges us to find new possibilities to model heterogeneous agents. If these ideas are not so revolutionary in their content, the attempt to introduce them into a formal model is a big challenge. Moreover, it poses the question about the role of a theory of international economics in such a wider framework.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52142929051921,"sku":"NLS9783790813807","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783790813807.jpg?v=1757582023"},{"product_id":"letters-of-sarah-scott-vol-2-book-nicole-pohl-9781138761490","title":"The Letters of Sarah Scott Vol 2","description":"Sarah Robinson Scott was a writer, translator and social reformer.

In the dynamic intellectual and   social landscape of eighteenth-century Northern Europe, the interplay between   patriotism, nationalism, and cosmopolitanism was pivotal in shaping the era's   cultural and political discourse. This study delves into the intricate   networks of elite women who navigated and influenced these concepts through   their participation in salons and literary circles. By examining figures such   as Anna Amalia of Weimar, Dorothea von Kurland, members of the Bluestockings,  Friederike Brun and the grande Dame of   eighteenth-century salon world, Mme de Staël, the narrative uncovers how   these women fostered transnational dialogues and cultural exchanges that were   crucial in redefining public spirit and national identity.     Grounded in extensive archival research and touching on the lives of over twenty-five individuals, the work highlights the nuanced roles these women played as cultural mediators and agents of change across national borders, challenging the traditional male-dominated historiography. The exploration of their contributions offers fresh insights into the interconnectedness of European intellectual life and the critical role of gender in shaping historical discourses. This book not only broadens our understanding of the Enlightenment but also provides a rich, interdisciplinary perspective on the socio-political transformations of the era.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52692865155345,"sku":"NIN9781783277902","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52820779401489,"sku":"NLS9781783277902","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781783277902.jpg?v=1762343323"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-nicole-pohl.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
